What is Perl FLaT?

A set of compatible Perl modules that aim to implement finite state machines and their associated operations. We have also implemented parallel finite automata as described by Stotts & Pugh.

Dependencies

While it is a goal of FLaT that it does not require an over abundance of dependencies, there are is one that is needed unfortunately:

1. Parse::RecDescent - used for parsing of the regular expressions, though for purity's sake I may provide the parser used for FLAT::Legacy.

Credits

Blokhead rewrote a massive amount of my code, and provided a much more efficient, modular, and intelligent implementation of what I started with my original code. The amount of credit he deserves can not be understated.

Limbic~Region and ikegami helped me understand the whole recursively generated iterators, which I used to implement iterative string generators.
